The fact that you have an emotional attachment to your children is evidence of their value. Things that provide value are assets, and things that provide value over time are investments.
A common share of Google may give you financial value in return, whereas a child will give you emotional or psychological return. Technically, children should be classified as more of an investment than stock because they can go work and provide for you financially while still giving you emotional value. Stock can't really give you emotional value (other than pride).

- throwawayyyyyyy 10y agoHumans are things. What's your point?
- neves 10y agoThis mixing of the meaning of "value" and the small subset of the meaning labeled as "monetary value" that is crazy.
- throwawayyyyyyy 10y agoIgnorance in the face of facts is truly crazy.
- taneq 10y agoTake a thing that you consider to have "value". How much money would I have to give you to convince you to give that thing up? That's it's "monetary value". There's an old saying: Everyone has a price. I'm not convinced it's 100% true for everyone on every topic, but in general terms, it holds quite well.
